The Carroll County Genealogical Society is pleased to present Antigoni Lefteris Ladd speaking on Honoring Our Heritage: The Greek Families of Westminster. Two years ago, a group of Greek-American families began meeting to discuss how their ancestors had come from Greece and settled in Westminster. The idea for this research project was the brain-child of Dr. Dean Griffin and Zoe Amprazis Sirinakis. They gathered 10 families for monthly meetings, encouraging one another to conduct online research of immigration records, dig through boxes of family documents, and identify countless old photos with no names or dates. This community story became an important part of the family history project that is now in book form and ready to be shared with the public for the first time.
